1. I had a rooted phone with CyanogenMod 4.1.9999
2. I downloaded Original System Image (signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-img-14721.zip) from http://developer.htc.com/adp.html
3. I updated the phone with the zip file
Now I'm getting an exclamation screen when I try to get into recovery scree (Pressing Home button during boot)
I tried to downgraded using RC29 Image: http://android-roms.googlecode.com/files/DREAIMG-RC29.zip - Followed first 6 steps from http://forums.tmonews.com/index.php?topic=8970.0
I'm not able to update or do anything with the phone now.
PLEASE HELP!!!!
my guess would 2 be push alt+l and a list of options will come up! Also dont use the system image from htc.com use the recovery image 2 go back 2 whatever version you want it 2... make sure u wipe before you downgrade/upgrade
please move

The same happens with recovery image signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip
I say flash another recovery.img via fastboot.
Hi I have a problem like you....my G1 load only in recovery mode(Hold power=recovery, hold home+power=recovery, camera+power=recovery)

I haven't fixed it yet. Am not able to place the recovery image using fastboot - my phone is not recognized by the computer
Work around I've found for flashing the recovery image if you can't figure out fastboot (I've never got it to work) is like this:
1. Follow the root procedure.
2. Install the most recent CM rom without using the HTC image (reason I do this is he's got some linux commands built into his ROM that aren't installed in the vanilla android build).
3. Download the cm-recovery-1.4.img to your sd card (or whichever recovery image you like)
4. Run terminal commands like so:
$su root (the reason I do this is it gives you higher level access to the system than just su, and I've found it doesn't work with just su for some reason)
#flash recovery /sdcard/cm-recovery-1.4.img
#reboot
5. Hold your home key as it powers up, and you should have the new recovery image installed.
Of course, I'd say do a full wipe, then install the ROM, and go through the fix permissions and clear cache.

You won't be able to use terminal from recovery until you have a thirdparty recovery image installed. The steps I've listed are for a working phone, and I'm sure that's where part of your problem is. I'd suggest doing a wipe (Alt+W) and going through the root process again. When you get the CM Rom, change the name of it to update.zip, then try the steps I mentioned. I'd suggest having a separate SD card with just DREAMIMG.nbh installed on it for emergencies (especially if you're going to partition your main card).
Thanks
2) Install the most recent CM rom without using the HTC image(What is it? Can explane?)
4) Terminal as i understand its Telnet?
Can i do works a boot mode and then downgrade it to RC29?? Because after it i'll know what to do... Thanks!

Basically to get this working you're going to need to downgrade to RC29 first - so follow the root instructions.
CM = CyanogenMod ROM. To get his working fully you need two roms, which are the HTC Developer ROM and the 4.x ROMs he created (reason being legal distribution of software), but for my instructions, on his ROM page, you're going to skip his instructions, just download his ROM, rename it to update.zip and just flash it from the stock recovery, just so you can get to the terminal once the phone boots up and load terminal (it's in the programs tray). When another screen pops up asking if you want to allow it to use SU functions (it will as soon as you type "su") hit allow.
Terminal is a program downloadable from the Market, it's included with the CM ROM.
His instructions for install are not going to work unless you have a thirdparty recovery image, which at this point from the description, the triangle with the exclamation point is the default system recovery image.
CM Rom page
You should be able to find the Root posts and choose a customed recovery image, there's about 4 or 5 really good ones, I use Cyanogen's, thus my instructions on how to flash it.
You're fortunate that you're getting to the stock recovery, means your phone isn't bricked.

Not sure what you mean? Telnet for these intents and purposes is basically just a command. The page on how to root has become pretty convoluted at this point. The part where it tells you to type 'telnetd' is just running a script which is an exploit in the old releases of android. You won't be messing with Terminal really until you get to the point where you've updated the rom. From this point, I'd suggest downloading this root.apk from your browser, install it, allow it, follow the instructions step by step in the program.
My problem consist of that i can't turn on my phone and i can't get into bootloader...only recovery can you give me a link for RC29 download and then install it from recovery on my g1 from recovery.
Thanks!

You don't...with the DREAMIMG.nbh or any .nbh file you start up the phone holding power+camera. The recovery mode looks for an update.img file. You'll make it through, don't get frustrated.

Slight issue here, not sure if anyone has had it before.
Just acquired a Captivate as an xmas gift to myself (sick of that iPhone), and began the whole process of getting a new ROM onto it. Rooted, installed ROM Manager, flashed a clockworkmod recovery (2.5.1.2), and hit "Backup Current ROM".
The device reboots into the standard recovery mode with the usual options (reboot system now, reinstall packages, delete all user data, delete cache data).
No backup is made, and I just have to continue the reboot. I've tried flashing to an older version, clearing the download cache, and using the option to go to ROM Manager's recovery mode (just takes me to the default recovery boot).
Am I doing something wrong here? I followed all of the instructions step by step.

Try doing "reinstall packages".
Steps:
1. Copy the clockwork recovery "update.zip" attached to this post to ur sdcard root.
2. Reboot to recovery.
3. Select "reinstall packages".
4. It would say something like replacing recovery with clockwork recovery, and reboot into recovery. This happens only the first time u use this.
5. Select "reinstall packages" again.
6. You should be in clockwork recovery.

Ok. I'll explain to the best of my knowledge.
The zip I gave u is the most non-intrusive way of CWM. No ROM manager installer is needed on phone apart from placing this zip on sdcard root.
When the phone boots up, it loads the default recovery console. When we select "reinstall packages", it loads "update.zip" on the sdcard root by default. Since the update.zip we have there is the CWM zip, it loads it therby loading CWM console.
If u don't want CWM, just delete this update.zip.
Hope this helps.
I have this exact same issue ROM Manager is doing nothing but rebooting into recovery. So if I use your workaround, I need to keep this update.zip file on my device at all times?

Yes best to do so
All ROM Manager does is download the update.zip that was posted and put it on your SD Card. The other steps need to be done regardless.

I got the ROM backup working. I guess I was too impatient the first time. I cleared/moved a lot of stuff off my internal SD card too....doubt that it mattered.
But it works quite well.
Phone will only boot into clockworkmod recovery, even after pulling battery and powering up using only the power button, it goes into recovery.
Here is what happend leading up to it:
- flash through rom manager the new clockworkmod
- used fireat's mod with mtd 125 2
- flashed aospCmod 2.3.3
- everything booted fine
- re-did firerat's mod with mtd 102 2
- now bootlooping into clockwork mod
I tried duplicating what worked initialy with no luck. Tried booting into hboot and htc reset menu (power + home + back) but not matter what it only goes to clockworkmod recovery.
For my install steps I followed romrepro "install from other rom" guide here: romrepo.info/wiki/index.php?title=Install_from_another_ROM
I have also tried the following:
- restoring through nandroid
- recovery flasher v1.3 to flash older version of clockwork
- lots of stinking google
All have resulted in no success.
Please help!
Are you s-off? You probably shouldn't mess with firerats if you're not. Mount your sdcard in recovery and change your mtd settings and then flash your rom and reflash fr boot.
~maybe I set it too high...
Thank you for responding. I am not s-off and I already tried changing the mtd part, flash rom, flash boot, and it still autoboots back into recovery.
I re ran the mtd part map with the following:
- 102 2
- 105 2
- 110 2
- 115 2
- 120 2
- 125 2
- 190 2
I also tried flashing aospMOD v9.2.2 (which is what I was originaly using) flashing boot and still no success.
Wait, so it opens recovery by just turning on your phone?

If you're changing mtdpartmap.txt (try 125 25) you need to wipe ALL, flash fr-recovery, wipe ALL again, reboot recovery (safely), flash rom/gapps, flash fr-boot, reboot. Once you're in the rom, open terminal (su) or adb shell and type "df -h" and it will show you how much system, data, and cache, are using, you then can change your mtdpartmap.txt accordingly, follow the steps I just listed.

FYI step 13 is unnecessary, that kernel is already in aospCMod and boots at 691. I guess I would try FR-1.5.8 versions and see what happens (that's what I have), the steps look right to me. You could also try leaving out the gapps and see if just the rom boots, you could also try flashing the last working version of recovery you had (i.e. cwm 3.0.0.5). It's also possible you got a bad download of any one of the above items, so try new DLs too. Report back, I am now officially curious.
I am unsure how to flash another version of recovery, I always use RomManager and I am terrible with adb. I tried using some one of the herocimg.zip to "install from zip" and I kept getting "installation aborted".
I will try FR-1.5.8 and report back.

I first used adb and push and blah blah...... 8 months ago.
Then I discovered OneClick! I used to be way more into the technical side of this stuff and then got busy with work and now I am extra lazy!
FYI:
HERCIMG.zip is a partition zip flashable in hboot/bootloader and ONLY if you're s-off
HEROIMG.zip is the same thing, but for a GSM hero....
Hopefully you can figure it out. I hate to say it, but 99.9999999999999999% of the time something doesn't work that others have had success with, it's user error. I'm not trying to be mean, I often miss steps too and need to ask for help. I don't know what you COULD be missing since it sounded like you did everything right, but I would say re-read all the stuff you're doing and hope you see something you may have missed. Best of luck, and please report back if you fix it to help others who may see this thead in the future.
No offense taken. I have had plenty of practice with this with my phone and my wifes and never really had any problems other than user error that I usualy catch. And it's alwasy something silly like flash & wiping out of sequence.
Good information on the HERCIMG and HEROIMG, I did not know that.
Is there a way to RUU the phone from a recovery zip install, (seeming how that is all I can access).

Not that I know of but you should be able to do it from the bootloader (hold volume down press power - from an off state) and run the RUU.exe from HTC.com.

Well that's nuts. I don't know how you don't have a bootloader, but you do have a recovery... anyway, I guess grab the FR-remove zip that correlates with whatever FR version you have and run the steps again, i.e. wipe all, flash FR-remove, wipe all, reboot recovery, etc. Hope that works. By any chance did you format /misc in the mounts & storage menu?

Format /misc is not listed anywhere. I'm at a loss. I have tried everything over and over and I am still getting the same results. The only thing left I can think of is to redo everything via adb. I'm not 100% on how these phones or linux devices work but it's as if there is something worng with the boot sector and/or sequence of the device.
It doesn't make sense that the first run at all this was flashing aospCmod (mtd 125 2, FR-1.5.3) and everything was working normal. I decided to go back and redo the process with (mtd 102 2, FR-1.5.3). Now this has to be where I or something screwed up. Maybe I did things out of order, got a bad flash, something but I do not know what. When I rebooted, just a normal reboot, it went directly into recovery. Now I have flashed a rom before and had the mtdpartmap.txt too low it caused it to hang on the first boot when the logo for the Rom was shown during loading. To fix this I just adjusted the mtdpartmap.txt.
This time things are different. When I power the hero up the phone vibrates, the white backdrop with green HTC comes up, it sits for approximately 5 seconds, then recovery loads.

Something about these steps didn't seem correct to me, so went back and read.
After step 8. flash fr-recovery
It says you went back and repeated steps 1. - 7.
I believe you only need to repeat steps 4, 5, 6...the others are probably optional, but I'm pretty sure 3. format boot...is something you don't want to do AFTER doing fr-recovery. then again, I may be overthinking it, and might be completely wrong. I'm sure someone will tell me
My own personal rule is to not make any assumptions and follow the steps listed and don't add extras.
(also, I violate that rule occasionally and usually end up doing a lot more work)

I have below files.
1-> cm-9-20121011-ivendor-ariesve-rc5.zip
2-> gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip
3-> recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.2-ariesve.zip
4> CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4
Guide me in simple steps , i tried many times to install ICS (Android 4.0.4) but unfortunately unsuccessfull each time.
Why it didn't work for me?
I have tried in many ways. Thanks in advancee
Hey,
Could you tell me what was unsuccessful about the install? Did it stop installing, did it bootloop, so on so forth?
But this is how I flashed CM9 onto my I9000, and I know that the I9001 is very similar so...
1.) You've got CWM, sweet. Boot into recovery. Make a bckup of your data through the option provided.
2.) Wipe data/cache/Dalvik cache. The first two are pretty simple to do, the last one is under "Advanced" settings.
3.) Now that you've got that, select "Install zip from SD". Navigate to where your CM9 file is. Select and confirm. Wait for it to flash in...
4.) At this point you might get a recovery bootloop. Don't panic here- just take out the battery, reinsert. Reboot into recovery. You should see that your recovery has been updated.
5.) Reselect the rom from the "Install zip from SD" option. This time it should start flashing in. Wait for it to finish, then it should reboot normally. Be patient as it boots up for the first time.
6.) Once you've done so, reboot into recovery again but this time select the gapps zip.
Unless the I9001 is different in a major way in terms of installing, that should work. I'm not quite sure...
Hope I helped

Hi.
I just started with CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4 and placed all above mentioned files/packages into the device internal SD card.
That's what i did :
1). Entered into the recovery mode menu by holding down Volume Up + Power and installed CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4 zip from the selection of Internal SD Card .
2). After reboot, i came up again in Recovery mode using CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4 application.
3). Now installed cm-9-20121011-ivendor-ariesve-rc5.zip by the navigation of "Install zip from SD".
It took hardly 4 to 5 seconds and displayed a message that it completes . no flash screen or anything came up and reboot.
4). After that installed gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip by the navigation of "Install zip from SD".
It displayed same complete message but within 5 to 8 seconds i think.
5). I Wipe data/cache/Dalvik cache after above step and then again repeat the process.
After that i did Wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition.
Now when i try to start my device then each time it comes into the CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4' s recovery mode.
Ask please i have tried too many things with it but yet not soft bricked.
I am able to switch into Download mode.

Perfectly simple guide! Thanks.:good:
The only thing I want to ask - what is the backup you have mentioned in point 1)? Is it back up of your personal data, or is it back up of your current ROM?
Hey man, glad I made it simple
Yeah, its a backup of your whole rom I believe- system apps, system files, all your downloaded apps all your data, so on so forth.
Helps you get back to what you were running before in case something goes wrong during installation.

Hmmm... Okay, I see...
What recovery did you start with before flashing CWM 5.5.0.4? Because I think what happens is that in whatever recovery you start with, you start by flashing in the CM9 file directly, instead of flashing a different CWM version in first.
So a good place to start would be back at 2.3.6 (don't know the firmware for the I9001). That can be done through download mode and Odin (If you need help with that feel free to ask). Then root again, get recovery back.
Flashing in the CM9 file the first time actually doesn't take long- maybe 5-10 seconds as you said, before bootlooping. What that bootloop does is it actually sets up a newer recovery, so that you can properly flash CM9 in.
Once you flash in the CM9 file the first time, try flash it in a second time. If it takes 4-5 seconds again then you have a problem, otherwise it should take a little bit for the file to install.
It will reboot; like I said in my little guide, just turn off, reboot into recovery and flash in Gapps, then let it boot.
Also, I don't think you need to wipe everything after the CM9 zip finishes. I didn't need to, and it worked fine...
Again, hope I helped

hi .
i am trying to give answer in point:
What recovery did you start with before flashing CWM 5.5.0.4?
-> yes i t was exactly CWM 5.5.0.4.
Because I think what happens is that in whatever recovery you start with, you start by flashing in the CM9 file directly, instead of flashing a different CWM version in first.
-> Could you elaborate the above sentence please? As long as i understood I initially installed CWM recovery through recovery mode by holding +Vol + Power+ Home.
So a good place to start would be back at 2.3.6 (don't know the firmware for the I9001). That can be done through download mode and Odin (If you need help with that feel free to ask). Then root again, get recovery back.
-> Yes i have been reverted through Odin Stock Gingerbread. How to root again? Could you please enlist in points?
Flashing in the CM9 file the first time actually doesn't take long- maybe 5-10 seconds as you said, before bootlooping. What that bootloop does is it actually sets up a newer recovery, so that you can properly flash CM9 in.
-> I don't think it's a bootlooping situation. When i start my device , It dispays CWM recovery screen each time even after the sucessull completion of CM9 and gapps,
Once you flash in the CM9 file the first time, try flash it in a second time. If it takes 4-5 seconds again then you have a problem, otherwise it should take a little bit for the file to install.
It will reboot; like I said in my little guide, just turn off, reboot into recovery and flash in Gapps, then let it boot.
-> I tried it many time right now and 2-3 months ago too but it took almost 20 - 30 seconds in first attempt.
Also, I don't think you need to wipe everything after the CM9 zip finishes. I didn't need to, and it worked fine...
-> I tried through Wipe and with it but could start my OS. Instead it display everytime a CWM screen.
=================================================================================================
In last , i did below steps :
1) Boot into recovery.
2) Wipe data/Factory reset.
3) Wipe cache.
4) Go to Advanced, then wipe Dalvik cache.
5) Go back, go to Mount & Storage, then Format System.
6) Go back, go to Install zip from SD Card => Choose zip from SD Card => cm-9-20121011-ivendor-ariesve-rc5.zip.
7) Do the same thing for the gapps zip.
8) Wipe data/Factory reset again (just to be sure).
9) Reboot.
Go into the cm10 thread by ivendor in developement section and in the middle of the 1st post is a download link for cwm 6.0.1.9. Flash it in recovery and reboot. The Problem should be gone.
Had the same issue.
Hope i helped
Hi Markey.
Do you mean that I 'll have to get CM10 and CWM 6.0.1.9 and then installed with same approach as i aforesaid?
Elaborate please if i misunderstood. Thanks

No i meant that you can install everything like in your guide and after that you install the cwm 6.0.1.9 and reboot, then you should be in recovery and then you have to reboot your phone and it should start normally
This solved it for me
Hope i helped
That's what I understood now:
0.5) Entered into the recovery mode menu by holding down Volume Up + Power and installed CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4 zip from the selection of Internal SD Card .
1) Boot into CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4 Recovery mode.
2) Wipe data/Factory reset.
3) Wipe cache.
4) Go to Advanced, then wipe Dalvik cache.
5) Go back, go to Mount & Storage, then Format System.
6) Go back, go to Install zip from SD Card => Choose zip from SD Card => cm-9-20121011-ivendor-ariesve-rc5.zip.
7) Do the same thing for the gapps zip.
8) Wipe data/Factory reset again (just to be sure).
9) Reboot
10) Then install the cwm 6.0.1.9 and reboot.
It could be solution, i will try and 'll tell at today night (after 6 hours).
It should be the right way but you can skip step 5 and 9

Dear Markey,
Whyn't should i start from cwm 6.0.1.9 rather than CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4 .
Should i require to check from it or not? cwm 6.0.1.9 support cm-9-20121011-ivendor-ariesve-rc5.zip ?

I don't know if cwm 6.0.1.9 supports cm9 but it should.
You could try it out and tell me back
when i go in advance and select wipe dalvik cache option.
it display an error:
E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]
Dalvik Cache wiped.
After completion of each step, i tried again but still not start OS.

Got the same error, i think its normal
Ok, then flash this file: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=861538&d=1326841043 in recovery, reboot and tell me back if it works
Or you could try this way if the other isn't working: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=928219&d=1330695090 its the stock recovery, flash it in recovery and reboot and tell me back. I think you should first try stock recovery and then the other file. Sry for the wrong order
Hope it will work again

I mean that you have to install them via recovery with install update from sd card or with install zip from sd card -> its called flashing
And i meant that you have to install the first file first and reboot and if its not working when you reboot then install the stock recovery and then the problem should be solved. But then you have to flash the cwm recovery everytime you want to flash something like a new kernel or a custom rom
Hope i could help
Markey,
I did the same as you are saying and got the above error on each file.
Could you explain the below linw please ?
But then you have to flash the cwm recovery everytime you want to flash something like a new kernel or a custom rom
What i 'll have to do now?

Which recovery do you use?
Cwm or stock recovery?
If you use stock then you have to reboot without installing one of the files and the problem should be solved
I meant that if you want to install another kernel or custom Rom you have to install the cwm recovery because its better then stock and after installation of the Rom or kernel you have to reinstall the stock recovery
If you don't understand i'll write you a guide for what you have to do
I have a Samsung Galaxy Exhibit II and I tried to get my phone back to stock ROM following this directions:
"1. Connect your device to your PC and copy uvlg3.flash2stock.zip to your internal SD.
2. Boot into ClockworkMod Recovery. To do this,
i. Power down your devi ce.
ii. Press and hold the Volume Up and Power buttons until you see the Samsung logo appear.
iii. Release both buttons.
iv. Press the left bottom Menu capacitive button when you see the Recovery logo (white box with the android icon).
3. On the next screen, select apply update from sdcard using the Volume Up and Down buttons to navigate and the Home button to select.
4. Highlight uvlg3.flash2stock.zip on the next screen and press the Home button to select it.
5. Go back to previous menu and select reboot system now to restart your device."
It all seemed to work fine but in step 4, when i applied the update from sd card it appears in yellow:
E: short write of /tmp/sideload/package.zip(no space left on device)
Installation aborted.
As you can figure, im desperated!! so please if someone could help!!!
THANKS
You missed the wiping part. Do a factory reset/wipe Rom ... I forget what it's called in CWM... Then flash the Rom

I did all that, the CWM doesnt appear now, im in the android system recovery <3e> and my options are the foollowing:
-reboot system now
-apply update from sd card(here is the stock rom but when i apply it it doesnt work because of "insuficent space"
-wipe data/factory reset(did that already)
-wipe cache partition(did that already)
-install fota(dont know what it is but i did it anyway).
Thanks for the reply
aditional info
when i reboot my phone and press down the volume i appear in odin mode, it gives me 2 choices: reboot or download mode, if i enter the download mode it appears:
ODIN HOME
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-T679
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: NO
CURRENT KERNEL: UNKNOWN

Do not turn off target!
There is an alternative way to enter recovery, just pull your battery, hook up the usb cable (ummm phone to pc), press and hold the volume up button then drop in the battery. When you see recovery start let go of the volume button.
You can mount your computer through cwm or twrp recovery an move the stock rom from your pc to your external sd. Do full wipes before flashing (any ROM in my opinion)
Sounds like you need to put the .zip on ext_sd, then wipe your internal sd, or manually delete all of the files. Something is eating all of the space. You might want to put the custom recovery back on it, CWM or TWRP, then wipe it all and reflash the zip, then reboot.
